Machynlleth Pride, Year Two

TL;DR: A tiny crowdfunder for a tiny Welsh town's Pride festival, which means a lot to me and many people in my community!

~

The LGBTQ+ community in my unique and beautiful rural Welsh home town is once again hosting its own Pride festival.

Last year was absolutely epic, it was such a beautiful day, hundreds of people came - all the queers in one place just heals your little queer heart. <3

I had a little stall for my handwarmers and zines, and met and re-met queer and trans people of ALL ages and listened to so many moving stories. I am hoping to host a stall again this year.

It was a genuinely beautiful and overwhelmingly positive event - but we had our share of small town bigotry backlash too:

We put up Pride bunting around the town centre, in places where others put bunting and flags and banners all the time, and it was immediately taken down by knobby busybodies and we couldn't track it down, we assumed it had been thrown out.

The venue were happy enough to profit from hosting Pride - and then the venue manager was openly stirring up bad vibes against Pride on Facebook, provoking harassment of a local queer journalist who covered Pride in a positive light. (This year it's taking place in a new location.)

Being queer in rural Wales is very isolating, but the nice thing is that we don't need a fortune to host Pride. The goal on the crowdfunder at the moment is only £750 (~$570 USD), and it's already at 16%. If you have a few quid to spare and you like to get a lot of heartwarming bang for your buck, we promise to put it to very good use - employing local queer people and buying [probably rainbow-themed] supplies to make a critically fun and supportive day for a lot of people who really need it, all organised by passionate volunteers.

Please click here to send us some cash, and we promise to get REALLY GAY with it. 💖

“[…]Football isn’t played on paper. The odds may be stacked against you. Fair enough, fair enough. But what the odds won’t tell you is that this isn’t a maths test. It’s a different kind of test. One with passion, courage, heart. Overrides any kind of logic. Where the sum is so much more than its parts. So when you cross that white line with that red dragon burning in your chest, remember…this is a team game, and you are not alone. We are Wales, and together we are stronger.”
